‘Phantom’ drops in on Sin City
Las Vegas
June 12 on: “Phantom” begins haunting the Venetian in a 95-minute version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “The Phantom of the Opera.” The Strip’s version, dubbed “Phantom -- The Las Vegas Spectacular,” features new special effects and although abridged, it includes every song from the Broadway production. Tony-winner Anthony Crivello and “Chicago” veteran Brent Barrett share duties as the phantom.

July 1-Aug. 6: The Seafair festival runs, parades, races, explodes and calls in the Navy to entertain. Highlights include a Torchlight Parade, the Navy Fleet Arrival Parade of Ships and hydroplane races on Lake Washington. The kickoff, called “Will It Float?” seems tailored to David Letterman fans. Teams build boats from milk cartons -- and then race them on Greenlake. During lunch, the Valentines Performing Pigs (which have appeared on “The Late Show”) jump, dance and dunk basketballs.
